Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) has just begun rehabilitation of the power plant’s five generators and substation, vital components of the hydroelectric facility.
The rehabilitation takes place 47 years after HCB was created by a protocol signed by the Portuguese state and the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique on 23rd June, 1975.
The rehabilitation aims to increase the reliability of electricity production and its transmission to HCB customers, 15 years after the reversion of HCB management from the Portuguese state to the Mozambican government [on November 27, 2007].
“Funds for the rehabilitation work, out of HCB’s own resources, are already in hand. In principle the work will take five years, or six or seven at most,” Chairman of the Board of Directors of HCB, Boavida Muhambe, said in an interview with ‘Diario de Moçambique’.
